Nute Burn? Organic Soil

Hey guys not sure if this pic is good enough to really tell what is going on. Anyone know what would cause this? The white pistils appear burned and the surrounding leafs seem curled. Ever since i started doing organic soil i would notice a few weeks into flower, a few strains would do this on some of the lower branches. Is this something I should worry about?

Either too much nitrogen or soil hasn't cooked long enough and the soil is too hot. You should cook your soil for at least 6 weeks prior to using.


The burnt hairs are from touching the buds and or foliar sprays

Need a better pic if full white light.

Thanks @hyroot Ill get a better pic up soon. Haven't done any foliar since before i flipped. Could be either of your two first suggestions. I appreciate it.

I'm going through nitrogen toxicity issues myself and some burned up lower leaves from reamending too hot and using straight away.

Take a skewer - like for shish kabob - and pierce the root ball area and all the rest of the soil. This will help shock the roots in a good way after a nitrogen overdose and it aerates the soil/roots at the same time.

this is how the top of the plant looks. just some of the bottoms are burning up. Im wondering did i not lollipop high enough? my guess is there getting to much nute not enough light to utilize, causing the damage?

Why lollipop? We need a pic in natural light or under white light.
From that pic they don't look bad. What exactly are you concerned about?

That last pic is the top of the plant , which like you said looks fine. my first pic is of some of the bottom colas, they are my concern, as they seem to be Burned. Ill get a picture up tonight of regular light. Thanks guys

What kind of soil? What kind of water and how much are you watering? Light? Temps? Have they been in the same pot and soil? Recently transplanted?

Thanks Smidge! Looking into it further i believe and hope it to be minor nitrogen toxicity. Sorry to hear about the issues you ran into. Blood meal?

Alfalfa "cooking" most likely.
